**Reminders from the Principal Team**
Pick-up line reminders:
Please stay in your vehicle if you are in the pickup line.
If you would like to walk up to pick up your student there is parking on the street or in the circle drive.
If you are first in line, please pull all the way up to the front door so we can load as many vehicles as possible safely.
Office Forms: Please be sure to return any necessary documents to the office. If your student is still missing something, we will be sending home a brightly colored ½ sheet next week to remind you.
**From the Desk of the Dean**
The scripture (and song) in chapel this week was again from Joshua 1:9. We are reminded that God commands us to be strong and courageous, not because of our own strength, but because we know that the Lord our God is WITH us! Monday’s chapel gave us a reminder that God is with us ALL THE TIME… and for ALL OF US! I am especially glad that we can look to God to lead our big family here at CLA.
Blessed to be a part of this community!
Mr. Horning

CLA E-Sports Interest Survey
Last year, CLA started their eSports program and had tons of fun playing Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Splatoon 3. If you are interested in participating in CLA's after school eSports program, please fill out the following interest survey: https://forms.gle/qUzdj7G7rDk4hsKVA. Completing the survey DOES NOT commit you to participating, but does help Mrs. Stribling plan for the season. If you have questions, please contact her directly at [email protected].

Any 7th-12th grader interested in playing GOLF, please contact Mr. Horning - [email protected]. There are opportunities this fall. Wednesday = “wedge day” and we practice behind the school… check it out!
